SCOTUS has agreed to review the Georgia case of copyright law and how it applies (or doesn’t apply) to the annotations to. O.C.G.A.
Georgia v Public.Resource.Org Inc

Really? I can’t even see how there can be any controversy over this. Pay off Lexis-Nexis contract, open the publishing to bids, pay for it out of taxes. Public domain. You can’t have a private company be the gatekeeper for access to the friggin’ Georgia code. That’s ridiculous.
Now, if anyone else tries to SELL copies, there may be a case, but dude was giving it away.
So, if we deem the “annotated” code to be a valuable product, pay for it and allow access. If not, make the raw code available and maybe some non-profit will step up and “annotate” it. But no copyright it any case. How do other states do this?
You’re ignoring the best SCOTUS development of the day… we finally got (a decision in) FUCT!
Ugly win, but I’ll take it!
USA! USA! USA!
I actually think this is kind of funny, and I thought certain other readers might get a kick out of it too:

That sounds absolutely insufferable.
Try this for Interminable. “Two theater groups and a media company are putting on a reading in New York of all 448 pages of the Mueller report from Saturday night to Sunday.
The groups are hosting the 24-hour event to spread awareness of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to Congress” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/new-york-theater-groups-hosting-a-live-reading-of-the-448-page-mueller-report
